PS3 2.70 Firmware Update Live

Sony has released firmware 2.70, the changes (quoted from PS Blog) below:


Hi everyone, we?re adding some great new features with the next PS3 firmware update (v2.70) that will continue to enhance your connected experience on the PS3. The 2.70 update brings a new Text Chat feature that enables you to communicate online with your PlayStation Network friends. Now, you?ll be able to chat with up to 15 online friends using the Wireless Keypad, on-screen keyboard, or other compatible keyboard peripherals. Not only can you chat with your friends instantly, but you can also access Text Chat while playing PS3 games and even participate in up to three chat rooms at once.
In addition to Text Chat, we?ve added a few more enhancements:
Friends list on the XMB (XrossMediaBar)

* Sort your friends via their online status
* Attach larger files to the messages you send to your friends (file size will increase from 1MB to 3MB)

Video delivery service on PlayStation Store

* Video files you?ve purchased from the PlayStation Store can be backed up to an external storage device and then restored to PS3?s internal hard drive for playback ? so you can clear up space on your hard drive and then restore the video anytime in the future
* Videos you?ve purchased for PSP (PlayStation Portable) system can now be transferred to PS3 for playback
We don't know what else is hidden in the firmware update, but will let you know once we have the PS3 updated.
[Download PS3 FW 2.70]

Yea, sorry about that. I read the previous post above you after being edited and didn't notice the quote.

Send a message via MSN to DJ_3Sixty Send a message via Yahoo to DJ_3Sixty
if sony removes the ability to play swap magic then they would removed the ability to play ANY ps2 game......... i think.

so i doubt this will happen!

gonna update later on, if no one else has replied i will let u all know then!

dont know if this is important to most but it is to me and i dont see it listed in the features.

when your downloading an update for a game there is now a time remaning at the end of the progress bar so you can see how much longer its gonna take.

if this isnt new sorry but ive never noticed it before and just seen it there while updating lbp.
